balance is reflected in the reading material, which consists of
basic texts and advanced research reports from journals in
information systems. This course develops skills in designing,
evaluating, and understanding qualitative research methods.
Students will also acquire skills in developing research
proposals, making and justifying methodological choices,
writing qualitative research reports, and understanding how to
publish qualitative research in information systems.

I take academic honesty seriously. It is the responsibility of
each student to know the University of Georgia policy relating
to academic dishonesty, as contained in the Student Handbook
and the Official Guide to Academic Honesty. The UGA academic
honesty policy is online at:
http://www.uga.edu/ovpi/honesty/culture_honesty.htm
It is the responsibility for each student to be informed about
the policy of academic dishonesty at the University of Georgia.
This means that each student must to read the policy and comply
with it. It's no defense to a charge of academic dishonesty to
say 'I didn't know that was prohibited.' Acts of dishonesty
will be handled strictly according to University policy. In
particular, it is a violation of the academic honesty code to
put your name on a project when you have not contributed to the
project or to give a fellow team member credit for
participating when he or she did not contribute.
